A. Intent And Purpose Of The District. The purpose of the "PD"
Overlay District is to provide for elements of flexibility in design,
arrangement, bulk and other considerations involved in the applicable
overlay district; to provide a framework within which the structures
and uses in the overlay district may be interrelated with adjacent
development and areas; and to maintain the desired overall intensity
of land use, desired population densities, and desired areas of open
space. The use of overlay district procedures is intended to encourage
large-scale development, efficient development of small tracts, innovative
and imaginative site planning, and conservation of resources. The
Board of Aldermen, after hearing before the Planning and Zoning Commission,
may determine or condition its approval of a development plan upon
reasonable restrictions for the good health, safety, and welfare of
the City.
B. Use Of The Planned Overlay District.
1. Planned developments are groupings of structures or sites that are
planned as an integrated unit or cluster on property under unified
control at the time of zoning. The sale, subdivision, or other partition
of the site after zoning approval does not exempt the project or portions
thereof from complying with the development standards and other conditions
that were committed to at the time of the rezoning. The planned development
district must always be used in conjunction with one (1) of the other
zoning districts known as the "underlying district". The requirements
of the "PD" district shall be in addition to the requirements of the
underlying district, except that the "PD" district may modify some
of the regulations of the underlying district in specific situations.
A "PD" district may be used in conjunction with any of the other zoning
districts or any combination of districts.
2. An application of rezoning to the "PD" district shall include a preliminary
development plan and may include a concurrent request to change the
underlying zoning classification. If the rezoning is approved, the
new district shall include the designation of the underlying district
followed by "PD". For example, a planned development district of a
"C-2" district shall be known as "C-2-PD". Approval of the rezoning
based on the preliminary development plan shall allow the applicant
to submit a final development plan for approval. No structure or occupancy
permit shall be issued until a final development plan has been approved.
The use of the "PD" district shall be separate from the subdivision
regulations of the City, and the development plans required by the
"PD" district shall not be construed as plats. It is recommended that
the subdivision process follow the rezoning/preliminary plan approval,
but precede the approval of the final development plan. Resubdivision
may be a prerequisite to approval or the final development plan.
C. Permitted Uses. Any use permitted in the underlying zone
may be permitted. The uses permitted may be voluntarily restricted
by the applicant or restricted as a condition of approval by the Board
of Aldermen.
D. Use Regulations.
1. The proposed development shall provide access to the major street
system in such a way that the traffic generated by the development
will not cause an unreasonably hazardous condition or inconvenience
in the area.
2. Structures and traffic shall be arranged so that all principal structures
are accessible to emergency vehicles.
3. Parking shall be provided in a manner which reduces to a minimum
its adverse physical impact in the area. Screening parking areas with
landscaping or walls, breaking parking areas into smaller units by
introducing landscaped areas or other physical separators is suggested
approaches. The parking areas should be appropriately spaced to serve
those units they represent.
4. The availability of services and location of public utilities shall
have the approval of each agency involved. Evidence to this effect
shall be presented with the preliminary plans.
5. Approval of the final development plan may be conditioned by the
Planning and Zoning Commission or Board of Aldermen to minimize any
negative impact on the community.
E. Application For Rezoning. A petition to change to a "PD"
planned district shall be filed with the City Clerk, along with the
filing fee as set forth by separate ordinance. A preliminary development
plan shall be attached and shall include the elements set forth in
these regulations. The process for approval shall be the same as for
any rezoning as provided by these regulations.
F. Approval Procedure. The approval by the Board of Aldermen
of the preliminary development plan and the concurrent rezoning to
the "PD" district shall be preceded by the publication and mailing
of notice, a public hearing, and a recommendation by the Planning
and Zoning Commission. If the Board of Aldermen disagrees with the
recommendation, the application shall be returned to the Planning
and Zoning Commission for reconsideration. Approval of the preliminary
development plan shall be valid for two (2) years from the date of
its date of its approval. The filing and approval of a final development
plan for any phases of the area contained in the preliminary plan
shall extend the period of validity an additional two (2) years. Once
approved, the zoning classification can only be changed through rezoning
and cannot be changed by expiration of the preliminary development
plan.
G. Preliminary Development Plan. The preliminary development
plan shall be prepared at a scale dimension of not more than 1" =
100' and shall include:
1. Boundaries of the project with dimensions to scale;
2. Topographic contour intervals of two (2) feet;
3. Proposed size, height, location, and arrangement of structures, parking
areas with proposed arrangement of stalls and number of cars, entrance
and exit driveways and their relationship to existing and/or proposed
streets;
4. Preliminary drainage plan in sufficient detail to show direction
of flow, storm water detention facilities, if needed, and major drainage
structures;
5. General landscape plan to include location and height of all walls,
fences, signs and screen plantings;
6. Note provision for dedication of new or additional right-of-way,
if needed; such to be dedicated to the City prior to approval of final
development plan;
7. Phases of final development;
8. Name and address of owner, applicant and architectural or engineering
firm which prepared the plan;
9. Seal of engineer or architect licensed in the State of Missouri developing
the plan, scale, north point and date of plan;
10. A description of any limitations to be placed on the range of permitted
uses, the hours of operation, the structure materials to be used or
other similar factors; and
11. Ten (10) copies shall be submitted.
H. Final Development Plan.
1. The final development plan shall be prepared in the same manner and
include the same type of information as the preliminary development
plan (updated to show final sizes, dimensions and arrangement) with
the following additions:
a. Contour lines shall show finished grading only;
b. The landscaping plan shall show the size and type of each tree, shrub
and ground cover; and
c. Drawings showing the size, appearance and method of illumination
for each sign.
2. The final development plan shall substantially conform to the approved
preliminary plan; shall be in final form for the issuance of a building
permit; shall have been previously reviewed by the City Clerk; and
shall include a construction schedule. A final approval of the Board
of Aldermen shall authorize construction to begin according to the
construction schedule providing all appropriate permits have been
received. Construction of at least the first (1st) state of development
shall begin within three (3) years from the date the ordinance of
the zoning change was published in the newspaper. If construction
does not begin within this period and no effort is made for an extension
of time by the owner, the final development plan shall be voided.
I. Building
permits on final approval by the Board of Aldermen, the owner shall
provide five (5) copies of the approved final development plan to
the City Clerk. The City Clerk shall issue building permits only in
accordance with the approved final development plan.
J. Amendments. If any substantial variation or rearrangement
of structures, parking areas and drives, entrances, heights, or open
spaces is requested by the applicant, the applicant shall proceed
by following the same procedure previously followed and outlined in
the preliminary development plan.
K. Open Space. The Board of Aldermen may require the provision
of open space to buffer dissimilar uses, to protect environmentally
sensitive areas, or to counterbalance any reduction in lot area, yard
size or bulk limitations.
1. Open space requirements. If the Board of Aldermen
